Finally, the PS3 assault rifle accessory you’ve been waiting for

CTA Digital describes their PlayStation 3 assault rifle controller as “the number one piece of equipment that any gamer needs to wreak havoc in first-person shooter games”. That might be a bit of the stretch, so how about “the number one piece of equipment that any gamer needs to scare the hell out of their neighbors” or “the number one piece of equipment that any gamer needs to convince their parents that really they should be reading those ESRB ratings”?

The rifle is a full-on PS3 controller, featuring every button and both analog sticks. It’s even wireless, operating off of AAs batteries and a USB dongle. The trigger acts as R1 and a built-in speaker makes a firing noise when you pull the trigger.

The video makes something clear that every person considering this controller should know–this is not a light gun. You can aim it in any direction you want because despite its gun shape, it ultimately is just an oddly-shaped controller. It’s designed to increase “immersion after you’ve mastered the controls,” which means sense because using a rifle-shaped controller has to make things a lot more difficult if you are playing some fast-paced MW2.

The $65 CTA Digital assault rifle controller goes on sale on Amazon.com on August 2nd. Bandolier sold separately*.

Speak Your Mind

wtf

This is absolutely ridiculous. What a waste of money for those that made it and those who buy it.

can’t use it

Is there a lefty version? Because they just lost another 10 percent of the gaming population that will never use this, in addition to the 80 percent that thought it was so ridiculously stupid that they didn’t want it.

does the aiming point move with the rifle, or must you use the analog sticks?

it’s the stick- aiming the gun does nothing.
